I grew up with cats in the house, and always thought i had colds in the winter and hay-fever in the summer. It wasn't until I left for uni that I realised it was the cat, and even then it was only when I came back for Christmas the first time. Within seconds of walking through the door I could...

This is my fear. I can already see loads of people piling in very keen to get very political. Which is fine, but I hope there's a way to stay out of that more effectively than there was on Twitter.

I suspect most people actually have no problem with people having different views. It's rarely a such problem in real life after all. I think people are not moving to bluesky because they want to be surrounded by like-minded people, they are moving because they are sick of the toxicity and...

It's amazing that this serious question only gets asked of the women's game, when 99% of men's football is operating at a loss.

This thread has taken unexpected turn. Feels like we need a poll!

To be fair, a lot of what happens on a football pitch would be classed as assault if you did to someone in the street! I've no particular moral objection to boxing, clearly calling it noble is a nonsense, but if that's what people want to do then that's up to them. Having said that, fighting a...

I think you underestimate how many in the middle don't really care who has won free speech, whatever that means, and who don't want to talk about anything overtly political, they just want to be able to read and write sentences without being called a communist/nazi, or sold cryptocurrency. It...

I'm obviously getting old, but I do wonder how the players feel about every little thing they do being immediately posted up to social media like this. This was probably mildly amusing for those who were there, but by posting onto twitter all it seems to do is generate abuse from the weirdo...

Let's not forget though, they did discover Alexis Mac Allister

We have no Apple devices so, from the sound of things, nobody is going to be able to find an airtag in our house as it would have nothing to connect to. I think the most likely explanation is that it's next door, although that doesn't explain why my partners phone thinks it travelled with her...

My partner just got an alert on her phone that an "unknown apple airtag has been detected". Has anyone had this, or know how this works? Both our phones are still detecting a tag nearby, but we can't hear anything when we try to make it make a sound. Clicking the notification comes up with a...

The pricks have always existed, as evidenced by the numerous events recounted on this thread. Interesting that those memories of disrespect seem to be remembered with humour, rather than fury. The old always think the young are less respectful than they were when they were young, but it's...

Come on Harry, you'd laugh at at school child for that interpretation of a graph! You don't draw a trend line by taking the first and last value and drawing a line between them. And the statement was that the decline began after the postwar period. You've started your line in 1924. "You can...

As per the other thread, I suspect this is completely made up.

Losing teams would use this to extend the game!

Absolutely. Wasn't the rule, at one point, that if the physio had to come on then the player had to go off (remember that furore a few years ago with Mourinho being furious with his physio for running on, because he knew the player was faking it)? Not that that is necessarily a good solution...

Totally agree in spirit, and i am pretty sure the rule still is that an injured player is supposed to leave the pitch but, for some reason, the treatment /assessment on the pitch seems to have been allowed to creep back in. The flipside is that you need to be very careful not to penalise a team...

My point was why do pensioners deserve a guaranteed above inflation pay rise every year, when large portions of society are struggling and public sector workers have had their pay effectively frozen for a decade. My comment about the £460 increase was slightly flippant, really just pointing out...

Of course pensioners receive an equal or above inflation pay rise every single year with the "triple lock", but somehow there is always money for that, and nobody ever questions it. Yet when it's people doing critical jobs suppling crucial public services, for some reason there's no money and...

It's very sad that you only see sport as worthwhile if it is profitable. Why not go and support a bank or something if that's what's really important?
